- Meta executives, alongside Google and Amazon, met Vatican officials on April 29 to discuss AI policy.
- Pope Leo XIV is preparing his first AI encyclical, which will address AI regulation.
- TechMeme reports the encyclical calls for stricter regulation of AI companies.
- New York Times notes the encyclical also urges protection for children against hyper‑sexualized AI images.
Why it matters: AI firms gain a chance to shape Vatican‑backed regulatory guidance, while regulators and child‑safety advocates will see stricter rules that raise compliance costs for tech companies.
